AYRT

I'm a pretty dedicated S/J shipper, but my interpretation of Sherlock in the show itself (it may shift in fic, though) is mostly that he's not interested in sex, at all. This might also be due to my being a fic writer — I find the dynamics of a pairing in which one of the partners is asexual, or close to it, to be rather challenging and refreshing to write, and a bit of a change from the usual. So that might affect my expectations of S2. It could be altered by it. It's going to be interesting.

I haven't seen SH2 yet, either — it's not out in my country yet! — but I've read some of the spoilers regarding Irene and I'm still not very impressed by their treatment of her. I'll have to wait till I see the whole thing. But yeah, in the fandom, there's been a lot of Irene hate and Mary hate, which is just sad — I really like Mary in this incarnation.

We seem to like both the show and the pairing for pretty much the same reasons, OP! I completely agree, re: the fanfiction — the many, many ways S/J writers have found to dissect their relationship in such varied, impressive, believable fashions have been incredible. I don't ship them because of their gender or their sexuality, not really — I enjoy genderswapped versions of them just as much, tbh — but because of the fascinating relationship they've got, the ways they just fit so terribly well. And this fandom plays on that particularly well.
